Adult nightclub planned on Rt. 365 near Verona

ROME >> Kyle Endemann wants to open a new adult nightclub at the corner of state Route 365 and Greenway-New London Road near Verona.

The Oneida city resident has a pending purchase offer on the now-vacant property, according to his zoning application. The new bar and restaurant he wants to build would be approximately 4,500 square feet with a parking lot for up to 62 vehicles.

He's scheduled to present his plan to Rome's Zoning Board of Appeals on March 6 at 6:30 p.m.

The business is allowed under the city's zoning code because it would be at least 500 feet away from residential properties, schools, religious facilities and public parks.

However, it would need approval for the use of a bar and restaurant under the F-1 Agricultural Zone code, according to Daniel Carpenter, assistant building inspector.

Endemann had his appeal tabled during the Feb. 6 meeting in the Common Council chambers at City Hall. Carpenter said the appeal can only be tabled once more.

"He can either show up and present it, or say he would like it tabled for the next meeting which would be April 3," Carpenter said.

The business would be considered an adult cabaret --meaning any nightclub, bar restaurant of similar establishment which regularly features live performances by exposure of "specified anatomical areas" or by "specified sexual activities" including in films, motion pictures, videocassettes, slides or other photographic reproductions.
